Chelsea Gonzo Mar 2014
This unforgiving life is living me raw
It's given me hope and then taken it all
I've loved here and hated here, but have broken few laws
Got a well deserved beating in spite of my flaws
Gained confidences and lost conflicts and for this I applaud
A life finally balanced just as the last day draws.
Here is where I found the Devil and where I lost God.
Chelsea Gonzo Feb 2014
Gentle judgy eyebrows, hold up that cautious brow
Span the spacious distance from  furrow to crown
Eyes of distant pewter pour
Over days of yesterday yor undercovers and desperate for....
Skin still young and sunlight starved, crinkle under laugh and yawn
Your beard a thing, a glory born, bushy brindles lightly shorn
Happy are the lips of one, who I fondly call S Dub
Chelsea Gonzo Jan 2014
I am buried beneath technology
where a lighted screen is telling me
how to dream and who to be.
It's severing my heartstrings
and numbing my daydreams
the type of connection
and affection
I never knew I needed.
Would not be without
could not live without
The relationship no one warned me about.
And now, here I sit, idle and alone
surround by friends I've never met
or hardly know
I read of tragedies that don't affect me
they are overseas
and out of reach.
Bradbury was right
oh, how these parlors delight
When did we all lose sight?
That those are our dreams to dream
unseen
by these lighted screens.
Chelsea Gonzo Dec 2013
A mind of texture and color
         stutters
         stumbles
         and falls
It's full of maddening gibberish
         raging hopelessness
         and close calls
A soul with wanting
         with caring
         that isn't worth sharing
         dies with its cause
A scream from the unconsciousness
          tried to stop all this
          failed
          and lost its job.
Chelsea Gonzo Apr 2013
Oh, wide eyes, why do you pry inside
      trying to **** the lie that sustains me
            refrains me.
Here no echoes dredge these walls
      leaving the empty eager
            and disfigured
Watch me, watch myself, watching life around me
      avoiding a life lived in anger
            by a stranger
Chelsea Gonzo Sep 2012
With the window down through the desert we drift
The radio's on and my spirits in fits
I eat your words that ride the wind
Take hold the road grab hold this sin
I tear at the vinyl where here we sit
Drive from this madness before we get bit
Suns snaps like a viper and heats up the sky
Times on the loose and fears in the eye
Chelsea Gonzo Aug 2011
Gently lay my head down slow
Upon the ruffled sheet
Softly close my eyes of wide
Oh how breathlessly I sleep

Faintly talk into my ear
Tell me your deepest fears
Strongly pull my body up
'Till I’m lying in your tears

Eagerly caress my hand
Kissing the pale palm
Happily you stroke my face
From midnight to dusky dawn

Quietly you leave the room
Out through the window wide
Limply I lay so silent
All in you I did confide
